The 27-year-old Leopard is shining brightly in Liga Nos, the Portuguese first division championship. The Congolese forward scored again last Monday in the league. On his counter, he already records 23 goals in all competitions and 21 goals in Liga Nos. An XXL performance for this player who only arrived this season at Braga, Portugal. He says he is proud to have set this record in only one season. "Such a pride to have been able to equal the club's record for most goals in one season," he wrote on his X.
The Congolese center-forward, who scored a brace last Monday during his club's victory over Portimonese, is on the verge of making his mark in the history of Braga. By scoring two goals, Simon Banza equaled the club's best total for a scorer in Liga Nos, Chico Gordo (21 goals in the 1977-1978 season). With seven rounds to go before the end of the championship, Simon Banza has the opportunity to surpass his 21 accomplishments. Just one more goal will be enough for the Congolese to occupy the position of Braga's best scorer in a single Liga Nos season.
To date, he is the second top scorer of the championship. Simon Banza is just one goal behind the Swedish striker from Sporting Club de Portugal, Viktor Gyokeres, who is currently the top scorer in Liga Nos. This Leopard has also performed well in the Europa League. His market value is likely to skyrocket in the next summer transfer window.
